A bona-fide "Guido" favorite by Lime. "Your Love' was their first single. They are also well known for their other hit, "Babe, We're Gonna Love Tonight" from a few years later. Do check out their mid '80s single "Gold Digger" for something different.

Feb 22, 2006 | 2:52 pmLime may have been the cheeziest disco act ever to achieve long-term chart success...but their first hit was redemptive.
Try to put the rest of their career out of mind in appreciating this clever disco riff on the boy/girl call-and-response duets (e.g., "Hey Paula," "Deep Purple") that dominated the pre-Beatles pop charts. For once, Lime's vocals are charming, not grating, and Joe LaGreca's wall-of-sound production compliments rather than overwhelms. Those synth chops mimic the vocals, and the reverb underlines the throwback quality of the record. Certainly not as good a disco record as "Dr. Buzzard's Original 'Savannah' Bad," but almost as clever in its reinterpretation of the past.
"Your Love," which struggled to #1 on the dance charts in late summer, 1981 months as a "sleeper," was one of the last big records with the dense "old" disco sound, even though its vocals pointed toward what was to come.

This is one of the best dance songs i have ever heard. I listen to lime every day on cd. The song tune is great, the vocals are great. This is a #1 dance classic!
